I'm hoping you are right, cause I've been on this 1080 ti too long and it would be a nice upgrade for me....but the bots, ai bros, cryptotards, and low stuck have kept me from buying something new.
@@HybridEnergy If only my mobo had crapped out in march and not january of 2017, I wouldn't even be considering upgrading a 1080ti but my 1070 isn't gonna play monster hunter wilds.
And make profit on it... That's why are they doing it, cause people are dumb af. They still think that xx70 is mid range, when they added xx90 above xx80 and added Super beside Ti, making xx70 being 8th from top instead of 4th. Only, cause it's called xx70. That's madness!
@@BOLOYOO I generally agree that people are generally dumb af. But at least they didnt buy the $1200 4080. This is second gen on this process node so nVidia should have recouped some R&D costs on the 40series and been able to discount this further.

@@haukikannelbecause there's no competition. Image quality is far behind DLAA and even XeSS. When native on one card looks twice as blurry than another, I know which one I value more, regardless of whether the actual hardware is better. Intel needs to catch up fast because AMD doesn't seem to be.
@@haukikannelIt’s consumers own fault lol some people are just now suddenly seeing the 7900XTX as a decent card, but that’s gone now. That’s last gen, and AMD isn’t making high end cards anymore because people weren’t buying them.!
Don't panic guys. The 5070 is coming out soon and it will be around 30% faster than the 5080 because Jensen said it is as fast as the 4090. Nvidia are actually saving you money releasing this card so you buy a cheaper, better performing card! Genius
@@StaceyJensenn but Jensen fangirls thought new architecture and shiny jacket gave it 25% uplift minimum even when it literally has just 5% more cuda cores.
The algorithm doesn't like when people click away after watching for less than a minute. Big props to Steve for not giving a shit about the algorithm and doing what's best for his viewers.
It's actually kind of genius. GN doesn't have to worry about viewers that were going to watch until the end. But new viewers that click the video will get what they're looking to get out of the video in the first bit of the video, and remember who to watch next time they're looking for an upgrade.
Not forgetting that 7900 XTX still is an underwhelming card also, it just does not deliver what a high end card should. It is as MEH as the 5080 is at the moment. It is a pity that AMD does not master the graphics cards at the moment, it gives a way too empty field for Nvidia to play with it's own chosen rules. AMD's subpar super resolution solution is the biggest problem with AMD software and the performance with ray tracing is the biggest downfall in the hardware. But also the raw performance compared to power consumption and amount of the GDDR is quite mediocre on the 7900 XTX especially. There is no good option in GPU's for a reasonable price at the moment. And has not been for a while. 3000 series was last good one with initial MSRP but the problem was that you could never get one for that price.
@@jarnovilen5259ray tracing is a gimmick and will remain that way for a while. Not paying 300-400 more for a 4080 that performs a little worse in everything but ray tracing. Lmao
Its rigged. Don't look at his stats. His motherboard is built to fuck over NVIDIA by lane splitting the PCIe with the NVMe. He just moved the NVMe up and down to make NVIDIA look like shit.
I give them props for recognizing the trend and predicting 100% correctly. Hate that they just disappeared instead of doubling down on other enthusiast products, but happy they didn't sell to some scummy bs company for a quick buck - Died the hero
Would've been interesting if they had lasted long enough for Battlemage cards. Although I don't know how Intel treats their board partners, and I dont want to wish a bad relationship on EVGA.
My 1080ti and now my 3080 from them will become display peices in my office once they are taken out of their machines and retired. Such well made cards.
So they took the wrong lesson from the 4080 12Gb. They removed the actual 5080 from the listing, took a 5070, named it 5080 and doubled the price. What a time to be alive.
As much as I'd love an XTX I'm not spending a grand for a GPU that falls on it's face as soon as you enable RT, especially with some games now _requiring_ it. Not to mention we play a lot of VR and I already made the mistake of mixing AMD and VR. Vomit inducing 1% lows. AMD needs to bring RT up to par and fix their long standing VR issues before I'll give them another try at this price point, but I will be watching the 9070xt closely.
@@zodwraith5745 I have had zero issues with streaming VR from my xtx. The games that require RT so far seem to not favor Nvidia that much unless you turn on very intensive settings (path-tracing). I just hope it gets reasonable fsr4 support
And the 5090 should be called a Titan. I don't want anyone that isn't a professional who bought any series of XX90 or paid scalper prices talking. You did this!
Not really. Nvidia market their ray tracing ability which they outperform AMD in with a stupidly large margin. People are also overhating on generated frames. While there are risk of artifacts at low fps, if the card is already running at a high fps these artifacts are practically invisible. And lastly, the RTX 5080 costs $100-$600 less than the 4080.
@wilmeroberg9794 Buying a GPU for ray tracing still feels a bit too early - Most games aren't using RT methods yet and they can often be switched off with very little effect on visuals - If you have a working GPU still I would wait for the 9070 series to release and see where to go from there, at the minute I have a 7800xt and I won't bother upgrading to the next gen I don't think it's even worthit unless you're aiming at upgrading to 4K gaming
@wilmeroberg9794 But the problem with generated frames is that the vast majority of people don't have monitors where it makes sense. I have 165Hz but most have 120 or 144Hz. When you need a base frame rate around 90 for FG to not look like arse, then you blow past the adaptive sync range of your monitor. It's not a bad tech per se. It's just that the valid use cases are still so rare that FG should be a foot note on slide 72. Not the center piece of the marketing campaign.
Same. And I think of myself as an idiot for not buying them now hoping for 9070 to be good priced, decent RT and power efficient. Im gonna regret that waiting.
@ You might be right, I saw it too. Who know how much more money AMD will ask for their AI features and better RT. That Red Devil price leak (899$ for 9070XT and $749 for 9070) made me loose hope for decent GPU in decent price.
"The 1080 Ti hasn't been rerun this year." Thanks for the mention. It would have been interesting to see a larger efficiency bump from the previous cards.
I'm just hoping that fsr4 will run ok on it. Unlikely that it will scale as well as RDNA4 cards. I read it is because of no support for fp4 compute instead having fp8 (or similar concept). They claim they are working on getting it running right now, and if it is just like a 10% hit I'd be happy with that.
I still have a 2080, now I feel stuck with it because no card is standing out to me. I have bookmarked a 7900 XT Hellhound as the best option so far without going too expensive, but then I'd be missing out on some RT performance.
@@BestSuppressed I'm on the gtx 1070 and also landed on the 7900xt hellhound as looking reallll good for the current price/performance it offers. I'm waiting another 4-6 months until prices actually adjust though. Might be much better deals on cards by then. Also, the 2080 is still all you need for 1080p gaming and will be a good card for another few years. My 1070 on the other hand...really struggles to get above 30-50fps on any modern title on all low settings...so yea lol
@@BestSuppressed i think from a 2080 to a 5080 you'll definitely be getting good value esp rt performance. not a bad card just almost completely pointless if ur upgrading from a 40 series card
mine as well at 3440x1440 is still a good card...i wanted to upgrade just to change my 1080 that i use on linux...my setup is 5950x + 1080 (linux) + 3080 (gpu passthrough to a windows VM)...1080 at 3440x1440 shows some fps drops in many games...but definetely not worth to change my 3080 for now
Frame Gen alone makes me want to get a 40/50 series upgrade over my 3080, and since the 50's are about to come out I may as well get the newest and best
I spent over $700 for my RTX 3080 in 2022 when my old machine w/ GTX 1070 died. I had never spent that much on a GPU before, and to this day I still worry it was 'too much' even though it's my primary hobby. I feel a little better today about that purchase, because going from 1070 -> 3080 for ~$750 was a much bigger uplift than if I spent over $1,000 tomorrow going from a 3080->5080. Thanks for laying all this out, GN!
I'm currently using a laptop with a 1660ti that has VRAM issues. I'm planning on upgrading to a new laptop this generation, imagine my uplift.. It will be a whole new world.
The 3000 series was a great value generation (other than the 3090) when you could get cards at or near MSRP. I wish the xx80 around $800 thing had stuck instead of going right back to $1200 for the 4080 matching the 2080 Ti. What feel like permanent supply issues for the past 5 years straight don't help anything either.
Imagine paying $1000 for a new card performing almost the same as your old card (which was much cheaper) but allowing the software to generating twice the number of fake frames than it is allowed to on your old card, just to let the bars be higher in their powerpoint slides.
Dunno about you, but I'm more than happy to buy this card for $1000, as long as every second, third, and fourth dollar note I use to pay for it can be counterfeit.
I mean come on. The 5000's series marketing is borderline straight up false advertising. I wish we had stricter laws on this stuff. You shouldn't be able to put some tiny text at the bottom of something and then just lie in big bold letters and you're free and clear.

My last Nvidia card was the 3080. I bought a 7900XTX in june of 23. Loved it so much, bought another for my replacement Media Center/Gaming PC I just built. About $800 each, and they are rocking. Super Happy!
No because it used the double of power to bring those FPS. So what you don't spend on the card, you'll do it on the bills.. Nvidia is just shitting everywhere and the gaming world is not innovating so.. this is it! Everyone should not spend a dime and stick with what they've got
Nah I had to get rid of mine anyway cause it was turning my gaming room into a sauna. Also tons of driver crashes and issues no one seems to talk about. 4080 is less overall performance but 10X more stable and lower temps. That’s something I feel good about lol

My 3090 died about 2 weeks ago and I picked up a 7900 XTX from Microcenter with the full intention of returning it and using that money for a 5080. It's been a fantastic GPU so far and this review kinda convinced me to just stick with it LOL
LOL I had a similar situation. Bought the ASUS TUF 7900 XTX from Microcenter as a "holdover" GPU because I built a new PC during the holidays and planned on selling it to get a 5080 when it came out. But I also think I'm going to hang on to it now! This thing has been a beast and has definitely exceeded my expectations!
This "generation" feels like a refresh on the level of GeForce 9000 and GTX 500. All of these cards could have arguably been released as part of the RTX 4000 lineup.
Because it literally is. Like, you were so close to figuring it out but then your brain decided to take a half day or something. GTX 2 series RTX 2 series GTX 3 series RTX 3 series GTX 4 series RTX 4 series GTX 5 series RTX 5 series The GTX 580 was running Crysis on 1080p very high, the premier resolution of its day, at like 30-35 FPS. It took about a decade of GPUs to get to the point where 1080p very high settings was viable across the board. None of them should have been in the 40 series lineup.
About DLSS though, those AI shenanigans on charts are problematic. We don't accept that from Facebook or Twitter. If they were to say, "In Oct 2022 we had 1 billion active users, but here in Jan 2025 we doubled that number by generating 4 times more AI accounts!" Oh, wait....
@@turtleneck369 I have a feeling that it will be, I can't see it being better then the 4070 super, but I can see it being about the same maybe 10-15% worse
@@DuBstep115 fair enough i have a 2080 super, but regardless.....to see such a minimal upgrade...its hard to justify paying the same price for a 4080 for a slightly better card. I might just get a used 4070 super and quit the 80 market for 5 years or so
You as an informed viewer of this channel might get lucky though, just buy the old 4080. Most people will just see the bigger number and jump on the 5080 anyway. Maybe even look for used cards in this case.
Spare me with the dead-horse "AMD Will Save Us" tripe. They've had their chance to for how many years now? At least Intel is putting real effort into something they don't have 20+ years of practice at. Maybe they aughta spend less on comment trolls to 'viral market' in comment sections for them and more on their R&D. AMD is not an oppressed minority, and Radeon fangirls are not unappreciated sages.
I appreciate you guys including "ancient" cards on these charts. There's a lot of people running those old cards, so it's nice to see the potential uplift for an improvement (even if you just jump to another used model somewhere in the middle of the chart).
Wow, I'm really glad I bought a 4080 Super when I did. In New Zealand the 4000 series was priced unusually well due to the mixed reviews it received at launch.
I bought it at $1000 a few weeks after launch and I could not have been happier. I have three decently high end 27" 1440p165hz monitors (for work) that I have no intention of replacing any time soon, and the XTX powers though everything at 90-100FPS easily. No upscaling. No generated frames. No artifacts from "AI" getting it wrong. Just good responsiveness and good 1% Lows right in the sweet spot of my monitors' response range. The people who got it for $850-900 are probably looking at he 5070Ti and doing the Nelson laugh right now :P
@noobacles It was just a few weeks after launch, when the model I wanted came in stock. I don't care that much about prices. If I want something I buy it. I've been building PCs for over 30 years, and if you wait for better prices you wait forever, because the next thing is always going to reset your idea about what "normal" is.
@@jaylapointe1654Atleast they could catch up. Or rather overtake Nvidia in rasterization, because clearly Nvidia prices its cards for RT and AI, which is valid in its own way. AMD will never get marketshare back if all they offer is 10% more raster for 90% of the price, thats just not enough.
there are 2 versions on why the delay, the first one is that the price for the 9070XT was 899 USD (but some people say that it isnt USD and that without taxes and converted to USD its like 480) and the second one is that AMD is still struggling with drivers (not too crazy to think considering the RX 7000 launch was a mess in regards of drivers)
Still loving the reviews as always, but it'd be great to get maybe just ONE render 'test/benchmark' someday. I miss those days, but it's also heavily useful as a data point as you could effectively get two lower cards and it's unrelated to "SLI" in gaming terms as days' past (years now lol)

@@Tracenji I wouldn't count that as DLSS 1 was awful and was all they got for half the generation and the price per frame went up. The 2080 was identical to a 1080 ti in games, but the MSRP was $50 higher. At least this time the price went down $200, though we'll see if that's also a fake price.

At this point I'm EXTREMELY happy I pulled the trigger and bought a 4080 Super for £720 in the black friday sales and didn't wait for these cards. It replaced my EVGA 1080ti, which I actually paid £80 more for back in 2017. Here's hoping the 4080 super will last nearly as long!
@@FrankieJPlays My XTX is a Sapphire Pulse because it was the only thing I could find that didn't look like gamer vomit. It runs stock clocks too. If reference cards had been available in my region I would have gotten that. They're not overly big and look sufficiently toned down.

@@DXcellence718Returns There is only 14% between them. I don't get why people fuzz over anything less than 25%. That's about the performance difference of a settings preset. I went with an XTX at 1440p165Hz because I wanted to tinker with it. I was puzzled at how little difference it made, visually speaking, from my 6700XT when adjusted to the same ~90FPS I generally prefer. That's a 2.25x uplift in GPU power but a "1.5x" uplift in visuals... at best.

The 7900 series isn't getting the new FSR that'll be on the 9xxx series AMD cards. So that's lame and will make them obsolete much quicker if you care about that. As well as bad RT performance. But if you don't care about that stuff then send it
@ The problem is… 9070 series use 8bit valculations… 7900xt can not! It use 16bit that is much slover for fsr4… So it may be possible to get fsr4 to 7900xtx but it will be slow! 7900 series just don`t have righ hardware for good fsr4 performance…
It’s definitely decent pricing assuming you don’t care about RT. But if you’re currently doing good it might be worth waiting to see what the 9070 does before deciding ig
Glad I gave you a chuckle. I suppose I would need to correct myself, as there arguably is a good reason to play Starfield in 1080p over 4k. You will see less Starfield.
At price per performance here 7900 XTX looks best damn ... And i do agree , its a huge shame AMD didnt decide to compete on high end this year . Huge missed opportunity for AMD
The Steam numbers say it isn't that huge. If AMD can make serious inroads in 70 and 60 class that is much more significant, as those are where the volume is. And that leads to numbers where game studios HAVE to properly optimize for AMD.
There was no 4080 TI so I doubt it. It makes a lot of sense though. I guess it depends on how high the yield for the big 5090 dice is and how easily they can deactivate faulty cores.
Nah I'm starting to think they won't. Amd isn't enough of a threat for them to make a 5080 ti. It feels like Nvidia has gone down to their level in performance this gen, maybe just to barely beat them in raster.
Why on earth would you not take the word of a businessman so ruthless he personally murdered an alligator so he could wear it? Surely he would be someone who wouldn't obfuscate the performance of a product?
With XTX being so close in almost every benchmark to 5080 while costing 800$ . Amd could have just released a XTX refresh, 20/30% power increase + FSR4 and other features, and people would have 4090 preformance close to new 5090 for 999$ MSRP .
Thank you for keeping the 2080 Ti in your graphs...there aren't too many of us left but I've had mine for over four years and finally looking to upgrade so that is a helpful comparison point

as someone who bought 7900xtx for 750$ back in Feb 2023... I feel much good about my purchase
Not forgetting that 7900 XTX still is an underwhelming card also, it just does not deliver what a high end card should. It is as MEH as the 5080 is at the moment. It is a pity that AMD does not master the graphics cards at the moment, it gives a way too empty field for Nvidia to play with it's own chosen rules.
AMD's subpar super resolution solution is the biggest problem with AMD software and the performance with ray tracing is the biggest downfall in the hardware. But also the raw performance compared to power consumption and amount of the GDDR is quite mediocre on the 7900 XTX especially.
There is no good option in GPU's for a reasonable price at the moment. And has not been for a while. 3000 series was last good one with initial MSRP but the problem was that you could never get one for that price.
I just bought a 7900xtx after watching this video, so I'd say you did well!

As much as I'd love an XTX I'm not spending a grand for a GPU that falls on it's face as soon as you enable RT, especially with some games now _requiring_ it. Not to mention we play a lot of VR and I already made the mistake of mixing AMD and VR. Vomit inducing 1% lows. AMD needs to bring RT up to par and fix their long standing VR issues before I'll give them another try at this price point, but I will be watching the 9070xt closely.

The sad thing is that we already had the 4080 Super and the only notable thing about it was the price cut
The fact that the 7900xtx is competitive w Nvidia's newest gen should tell you something abt their shady practices.
shaders!
Not really. Nvidia market their ray tracing ability which they outperform AMD in with a stupidly large margin. People are also overhating on generated frames. While there are risk of artifacts at low fps, if the card is already running at a high fps these artifacts are practically invisible. And lastly, the RTX 5080 costs $100-$600 less than the 4080.
@wilmeroberg9794 Buying a GPU for ray tracing still feels a bit too early - Most games aren't using RT methods yet and they can often be switched off with very little effect on visuals - If you have a working GPU still I would wait for the 9070 series to release and see where to go from there, at the minute I have a 7800xt and I won't bother upgrading to the next gen I don't think it's even worthit unless you're aiming at upgrading to 4K gaming
@wilmeroberg9794 But the problem with generated frames is that the vast majority of people don't have monitors where it makes sense. I have 165Hz but most have 120 or 144Hz. When you need a base frame rate around 90 for FG to not look like arse, then you blow past the adaptive sync range of your monitor. It's not a bad tech per se. It's just that the valid use cases are still so rare that FG should be a foot note on slide 72. Not the center piece of the marketing campaign.

I'm just hoping that fsr4 will run ok on it. Unlikely that it will scale as well as RDNA4 cards. I read it is because of no support for fp4 compute instead having fp8 (or similar concept).

I spent over $700 for my RTX 3080 in 2022 when my old machine w/ GTX 1070 died. I had never spent that much on a GPU before, and to this day I still worry it was 'too much' even though it's my primary hobby.

Totally feel you on that.
I'm currently using a laptop with a 1660ti that has VRAM issues. I'm planning on upgrading to a new laptop this generation, imagine my uplift.. It will be a whole new world.
The 3000 series was a great value generation (other than the 3090) when you could get cards at or near MSRP. I wish the xx80 around $800 thing had stuck instead of going right back to $1200 for the 4080 matching the 2080 Ti. What feel like permanent supply issues for the past 5 years straight don't help anything either.

@@GamersNexus bro they hv packed 5060 ti in 5080 box 😂even worse step down than 40 series where they packed a 4070 in 4080 box 😅
my 3070 Founders edition which i bought in jan 2021 was equal or greater than 2080 ti
and then i upgraded to rtx 4070 ti super gigabyte eagle oc 16gb at launch jan 2024 which is equal to 3090 ti 24gb
@@Tracenji I wouldn't count that as DLSS 1 was awful and was all they got for half the generation and the price per frame went up. The 2080 was identical to a 1080 ti in games, but the MSRP was $50 higher. At least this time the price went down $200, though we'll see if that's also a fake price.
... spending more than $1000 that doesn't even remotely come close to last gens 4090.
Nvidia has lost their shit 😂😂😂
I still want to know what the hell a $10,000 command center looks like.
Guess what? The GTX 1080 Ti owners will still keep their GPU
A 1080ti is slow as hell now
No it's not lmao @@drunkhusband6257
1080 Tis should be framed when they are retired!
@GamersNexus Thats exactly what Im gonna do.
@@drunkhusband6257 yeah, for modern games it is in over it's head.
Well I was going to buy a 5080, but now I'll just get a discounted 7900XTX with proper 24GB ram.
This. I got a 7900xt for $700 2 years ago and it was the best decision I've made. I've had zero issues/driver bugs etc. that people claim AMD has.
@@stevenshelp1107 AMD drivers are in a lot better place, but it can still be lottery based sometimes. I noticed that the chances of issues goes up drastically if you install AMD adrenalin software minimal or full instead of just drivers only.
@@stevenshelp1107 The 7000 series seems to have been one of the more stable AMD gpus. I had a 5700xt (in a brand new build) and it tortured me until I got rid of it
@@numberjuan5837 i have a 6800 with no issues.
it also comes with bsods, driver issues and microstutters. those are features, enjoy your amd
@GamersNexus thank you for calling out big companies bullshit and protecting gamers
He won't protect your mom from me 🤫
@ I am 40, my mom is 65, if u into that I mean you do you bud 😂
I thank you for adding the 2080ti into these bench marks, this card has been doing so well for me until new games started releasing over the last 2 years, I skipped the 30 and 40 series and now think it’s time to upgrade with the 50 series
I love the new upfront results format. Sometimes I don’t have time to watch the whole video, so I’ve skipped watching them in the past. Now I find myself watching every video I see even if I don’t have time to stay for the whole thing. Thank you for this! (Now back to work until I have time to come back later for the rest…)
I'm so glad I bought my 7900 XTX 2 weeks ago - I totally expected this result. Maybe I should go play the stock market now!
have fun with FSR
At this point I'm EXTREMELY happy I pulled the trigger and bought a 4080 Super for £720 in the black friday sales and didn't wait for these cards. It replaced my EVGA 1080ti, which I actually paid £80 more for back in 2017. Here's hoping the 4080 super will last nearly as long!
720?!?! You're a thief! I wish we had that kinda sale over here
Prices for 5080 in Australia were just released and go on sale at 1am. They range from AU $2100-2800
I saw a 7900 xtx on facebook market for $500… this review just cemented my decision to buy it. Idc for ray tracing in games.
Ok that’s amazing value, definitely pick that up if it’s still available lmao
That's a pounce if the person looks credible.
@@andersjjensen oh yeah, it’s a reference card tho so not overclocked or anything. Still a great deal.
@@FrankieJPlays My XTX is a Sapphire Pulse because it was the only thing I could find that didn't look like gamer vomit. It runs stock clocks too. If reference cards had been available in my region I would have gotten that. They're not overly big and look sufficiently toned down.
@ i just messaged the seller, let’s hope i hear back soon.
Ok now I want a 7900xtx
the 5090 being 50-60% faster than the 5080 despite the 5080 not being 50-60% faster than the 4080 is just insane
I can see why AMD decided not to release a new high graphic card as the 7900XTX is still be monster.
Yup the card dancing with a 5080 in some of these test is pretty funny, they are chilling lol. I almost went with an XTX but got a pretty good deal on the 7900xt last year so i went with that
@@DXcellence718Returns There is only 14% between them. I don't get why people fuzz over anything less than 25%. That's about the performance difference of a settings preset. I went with an XTX at 1440p165Hz because I wanted to tinker with it. I was puzzled at how little difference it made, visually speaking, from my 6700XT when adjusted to the same ~90FPS I generally prefer. That's a 2.25x uplift in GPU power but a "1.5x" uplift in visuals... at best.
14:39 In Dragon's Dogma 2 the 4090 is just far enough ahead of the 5080 that the 5080 won't be able to see the 4090 in city areas due to limited draw distance.
Can't believe the moment AMD decides not to chase the high-end, Nvidia fumble their high-end.
Oh boy, can't wait to watch in a bit. Looking forward to being dlssed into loving those new cards!

I’m working so I gotta dip out, but I’ll watch the rest later. Thanks, Steve!
People standing in line at Microcenter since last Friday for this? This is insane
Since FRIDAY?! Oof!
That's sad
If one day in my life I feel bad or I have a down moment, I will tell myself at least I didn't camped out with a tent for 3 days to buy a GPU lmao
@@GamersNexus yep, it’s confirmed in jayztwocents live stream from 1/24/25, and on the Microcenter subreddit
The micro center by me out in valley forge Pennsylvania I was helping my nephew with his first computer build last week. An employee said last Saturday people will start camping out that night imagine sleeping in a tent in this cold ass weather for a week.
The 5090 reviews already made me feel good about my 7900XTX, but the 5080 only make me feel even more amazed with my 7900XTX. Thanks Nvidia.
Just bought a Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX for $830 not regretting it after seeing this.
Same here!!
I'm SHOCKED, Nvidia is charging 100% more for a card that performs max 30-60% better. There's no way right? Nvidia is our friend...It just works...
Looking to upgrade from my 1080ti, and these 5080 reviews are doing a great job of making the 7900 XTX look like a good option to go with.
Literally what i just did. Especially since the 4770k i have is struggling even more than 1080 ti. Got the taichi xtx for a white build and wondering if i jumped too soon.
Upper mid tier vs lower high tier
I wouldn’t get one unless you can find one for like $700 ngl
What I’m getting from this is that at $800 the 7900xtx is a pretty bad ass card and no one needs to upgrade if they bought last gen’s high end
That means that 7900xtx don`t stay that low… very long time!
GPU resellers smell blood in the water and increase prices…
@ let’s hope not lol, I have a 3090 I might be trying to upgrade soon. This helps knowing I’m not pigeon holed into just the shiny new thing though. I can find a good deal and take my time with last gen and this one
The 7900 series isn't getting the new FSR that'll be on the 9xxx series AMD cards. So that's lame and will make them obsolete much quicker if you care about that. As well as bad RT performance. But if you don't care about that stuff then send it
@
The problem is… 9070 series use 8bit valculations… 7900xt can not! It use 16bit that is much slover for fsr4…
So it may be possible to get fsr4 to 7900xtx but it will be slow!
7900 series just don`t have righ hardware for good fsr4 performance…
It’s definitely decent pricing assuming you don’t care about RT. But if you’re currently doing good it might be worth waiting to see what the 9070 does before deciding ig
Glad I gave you a chuckle. I suppose I would need to correct myself, as there arguably is a good reason to play Starfield in 1080p over 4k. You will see less Starfield.
At price per performance here 7900 XTX looks best damn ... And i do agree , its a huge shame AMD didnt decide to compete on high end this year . Huge missed opportunity for AMD
The Steam numbers say it isn't that huge. If AMD can make serious inroads in 70 and 60 class that is much more significant, as those are where the volume is. And that leads to numbers where game studios HAVE to properly optimize for AMD.
With the popularity of Deepseek, you guys also could include local Ai chatbot performance on these videos in the future.
Everything here screams out a later launch of a 5080Ti, the price and performance gap between the 5080 and 5090 is just crazy...
Jensen said , " The more you buy, the more you save " . He wants you to pony up and get the 5090 instead.
I doubt this just look at the 4080 super. Nvidia wants you to put all the money on the table or none.
There was no 4080 TI so I doubt it. It makes a lot of sense though. I guess it depends on how high the yield for the big 5090 dice is and how easily they can deactivate faulty cores.
Nah I'm starting to think they won't. Amd isn't enough of a threat for them to make a 5080 ti. It feels like Nvidia has gone down to their level in performance this gen, maybe just to barely beat them in raster.
@@fleurdewin7958 on day 1? yeah, i agree. I'd wait for that inevitable 5080Ti tho.
I love that you showed the multi-generational scores to better help those who wait multiple generations to upgrade to find the best value
wow exciting review of the RTX 4080Ti
Why on earth would you not take the word of a businessman so ruthless he personally murdered an alligator so he could wear it? Surely he would be someone who wouldn't obfuscate the performance of a product?
With XTX being so close in almost every benchmark to 5080 while costing 800$ . Amd could have just released a XTX refresh, 20/30% power increase + FSR4 and other features, and people would have 4090 preformance close to new 5090 for 999$ MSRP .
Just saying the AMD lady told that they are working for fsr 4 release for 7000 gpus ^^
@@hexyw0w Any link?
Thank you for keeping the 2080 Ti in your graphs...there aren't too many of us left but I've had mine for over four years and finally looking to upgrade so that is a helpful comparison point
1080 were kings in our era, now we dont even get readings 😥
Your 1080 belongs in a museum 😂
they struggled to run dishonored 2 while the 1080 TI could.
I had mine until it literally burned out. Then I had to buy a very overpriced 3090.
